Thanks. It's happened three times in four days, so it could be a while before it happens again.
I noticed because I've got Weather Underground up on my second monitor, just sitting there, and I noticed it was showing null data, as it did when I enabled Rapidfire (it is no longer) and was sending partial packets (I think that's what happens, right?) I checked the matching entries in the MySQL database, and they show rows of null at those times I'll set the debugging, but it seems that if there's no valid data during an archive interval (I've got it set for the default 300 seconds) then nulls get recorded.
